Hey readers, I'm Ann Bogall and this is What Should I Read Next Episode 62.

Welcome to the show that's dedicated to answering the question that plugs every reader.

What Should I Read Next? We don't get bossy on this show. What we will do here is give you the

information you need to choose your next read. Every week we'll talk all things books and reading

and do a little literary matchmaking with one guest. Readers, we have a special episode today

because it's our anniversary. The first episode of What Should I Read Next aired on Tuesday,

January 12th, 2016. Our guest was Jamie Golden. Her favorites were persuasion,

me before you, and 1122 63. She hated Ghostsettle Watchmen and I recommended the man in the

high castle, a man called Uva and Bel Conto. For the record, she enjoyed them all.

We have 61 episodes behind us now. We've talked all things books and reading in everyone.

What we love and what we hate. In 52 of those episodes, guests have told me three books they love,

one book they hate, and what they're reading now, and I've recommended what they should read next.

I get great recommendations from this podcast, from the guests and from you, the listeners

every week. But as the host of this show, I've never sat in the hot seat myself until today.

For our anniversary, we're doing this special episode of What Should Ann Read Next so you can hear

me talk a little more at length about what I love and maybe what I hate and why, and so I can

awkwardly refer to myself in the third person. A few weeks ago, at the end of episode 59, I shared

with you three books I love, one book I hate, and what I was reading at the time, and asked you to

tell me by voice message or by email what I should read next. Today, we get to listen to those

responses together, which I'm about to hear for the first time. And that's possible thanks to one

of our What Should I Read Next producers, Brenna Frederick, who is joining me on the show today.

Here she is. Brenna, welcome. Hi Anne. I feel like I'm at home already. I feel like I've been here
